    Had the pressure and return line replaced last spring on my 1999 and it didn't stop the leak. Was looking through the site today for comments, suggestions or fixes.

    Have been using Lucas since getting the VX a year ago December. Maybe 3 of the big bottles over the course of the year and 4 months. It doesn't really leave a big puddle anywhere but you cannot tell when the reservoir will get low. I check it every time I drive and it will be fine for several days and suddenly it's low. Must be some position in the turning radius where it really leaks. Need to put it up on the lift and have someone turn through the range and find out. The guy that changed my lines also did the CV axles on the front with upper and lower ball joints. $800 in labor and I supplied all the parts. One of the axles was not right so he had to put it back together to roll out until the right one came. Was without the VX for 3 weeks.

    Thanks for tips. Line was badly rusted and squirting out fluid. Not any fun to change. Removed radiator/shroud/fan. It is now installed and everything back together. $28.00 at auto pars store.
